Variable-speed pumps, salt systems, heaters, automation, and LED lighting. Sized right for your pool and installed clean, with upfront pricing.
The single best upgrade for most San Antonio pools. A variable-speed pump runs low and slow for daily filtration, then ramps up for cleaning cycles. Compared to an old single-speed pump, energy use drops dramatically, which matters with Texas electric rates and long swim seasons. Most pump replacements we do are upgrades, not like-for-like swaps.
Softer water, no hauling chlorine jugs, and steadier sanitizer levels. A conversion means installing a salt cell and control panel, adding salt, and dialing in output for your pool size and sun exposure. In San Antonio, salt output needs seasonal adjustment: August demands more than April.
Gas heaters for fast warm-ups and heat pumps for efficient shoulder-season swimming. San Antonio swim seasons run long, and a heater stretches yours from March to November. We size the BTU output to your pool volume and desired heat-up time.
Automation pays for itself in convenience: control the pump, heater, lights, and schedules from your phone. Pentair, Jandy, and Hayward systems integrate with what you already have.
Color-changing LED pool lights transform a backyard at night and use a fraction of the power of old incandescents. We replace burned-out fixtures and add lighting where pools never had it.
Replacing a cracked filter, or rebuilding an entire aging equipment pad with matched pump, filter, and automation. One quote, everything sized to work together.
A technician visits, measures the pool, checks the existing equipment, plumbing, and electrical, and asks how you use the pool. This is where sizing happens. An oversized pump wastes energy; an undersized heater never keeps up.
Equipment, parts, and labor as separate line items. If two brands would both work, we explain the tradeoffs and let you choose. You approve the number before we order anything.
Most installs are done in a single visit. We remove the old equipment, set and plumb the new gear, wire it correctly, and leave the pad tidy. No hacked plumbing, no dangling wires.
Pump schedules, salt output, heater settings, automation app, we set everything up and walk you through it before we leave. You know how to run every piece of your new equipment.
Texas pools run their pumps longer than pools in cooler states, which makes pump efficiency the biggest line item in pool ownership after chemicals. A single-speed pump running 8 hours a day is one of the hungriest appliances in a San Antonio home.
A variable-speed pump running at low speed for longer hours moves the same water for a fraction of the electricity. Many customers see the pump pay for itself in energy savings within a couple of seasons.
Salt conversions have their own math. You trade weekly chlorine purchases for salt, which you add a few times a year. The water feels softer and sanitizer levels stay steadier. The salt cell needs replacement every 3 to 5 years, which we factor into the recommendation honestly.
We quote both repair and replacement when it is close, and you decide.
Most single-equipment installs are done in one visit of a few hours. Full pad rebuilds can take a full day. We give you a realistic timeline with the quote.
We work with the major equipment brands: Pentair, Hayward, and Jandy. We recommend based on what fits your pool and pad, parts availability, and value, not on brand kickbacks.
For most owners, yes. Softer-feeling water, no chlorine jugs, and steadier sanitation through hot months. The main ongoing cost is cell replacement every few years. We will talk through the math for your specific pool before you commit.
Yes. Running at low speed for longer hours uses far less electricity than a single-speed pump blasting for 8 hours. The savings are real and measurable, and we can estimate them for your pool before you decide.
